French consumer price growth eased more than expected in October, rising 0.8% year-on-year, according to final data released on Friday by national statistics agency INSEE. The figure came

in below both the preliminary estimate issued last month and market expectations.

Inflation measured under the EU-harmonised index also slowed, dropping to 0.8% from 1.1% in September. A Reuters survey of 17 analysts had forecast an average rate of 0.9%. Photo by  Lionel Allorge, Wikimedia commons.
